Homeade Applesauce

 

I had leftover apples from apple picking that couldn't quite add up to apple butter

so they instead became this luxurious applesauce.

Ah spoonful of heaven!

 

This was really fast and easy and would be great on pancakes or mixed into yogurt. Or, as I've been doing, sneaking heaping spoonfuls out every time I walk past the fridge.

 

 

Applesauce:

 

6 lbs of mixed apples; peeled, cored, and sliced

1 cup apple cider

1 lemon; juiced

1/2 cup dark brown sugar

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp vanilla

2 tbs maple syrup

 

1    in a large pot mix together all ingredients

2    bring heat up to medium and cook for 25 minutes, apples should be very tender

3    pour into food processor and puree until no large chunks remain, you can make

      it thinner by processing it further

4    store in an airtight container in the fridge

 

super simple with an amazing flavor, plus your whole house smells like fall while you're making it!
